SKATING WORKSHOP WITH THE STARS OF DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS DREAM BIG

Disney On Ice is offering keen young skaters the chance to enjoy a skating workshop with the stars of the show when Disney On Ice presents Dream Big comes to the Metro Radio Arena this October.

The Disney On Ice team would love to hear from budding young skaters from age 5 upwards, who could win the chance to spend an hour in training with professional skating stars from the show. 10 lucky winners will be chosen at random to attend a skating workshop on the morning of Wednesday 3rd October.

Ailsa Oliver, General Manager of Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena, said:

“This is the third year we have provided up and coming skaters with the opportunity to have a workshop with professional Disney On Ice cast members; last year’s competition was particularly strong, with over 50 young people applying to take part in this amazing opportunity. The cast were absolutely amazed at the standard of the participants, who totally immersed themselves in the training. Once again the winners will have the opportunity to learn choreography actually used in the show, which they will also have the chance to see as part of their prize: a family ticket to see Disney On Ice presents Dream Big at the evening performance on Wednesday 3rd October.”

Steven Armstrong, Europe North Vice President for Feld Entertainment, producers of Disney On Ice, added:

“We have been astonished by the quality of skating shown by our young competitors, and we’re delighted to be able to offer 10 new passionate young skaters a chance to skate with our stars. It’s rewarding to be able to encourage young skating talent and who knows, we may well be working with future Disney On Ice stars! We’re also delighted to invite the young skaters and their families to be our guests for our brand new ice show – Disney On Ice presents Dream Big.”

In this all-new production, making its European debut, audiences will set sail with the wayfinder Moana live on ice in Disney On Ice presents Dream Big.. Alongside Moana and demi-god Maui are eight tales of courage and heart, including Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Tangled. Plus, audiences are encouraged to arrive early to celebrate 90 years of Walt Disney’s ‘True Original’ – Mickey Mouse.
